Putting the eurovox to good use ? - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Now that N3 has fooked it up for us in Leeds, I have now subscribed fully BUT was hoping I still may be able to get a little one over Mr B.

Just before N3 was rolled I invested in another STB (only been out of box once !!!) and I was going to coax into the bedrooms.

Now that i'm fully subscribed would I be able to use the Eurovox STB's to receive all channels ?? If I still coaxed to the bedrooms ? That way I wouldn't have to pay for multi room or extra boxes ?

If not i'll just use them as book ends !!!!

Cheers in advance

Door stoppers mate

Not quite door stopers - they will still give you the free channels (BBC ITV C4 C5 and a couple of other minor ones according to various reports.

No pay channels on them though.

Wont they give you other freeview channels then?

Analoguesat · 13-12-09, 05:44 PM

Doesnt look like it.

Could one of our Leeds members post the FULL list of whats still available on a bog standard EV?

That would give our members in other areas an idea of whats going to be available to them once they get Nagra3'd

I was banking on at least the freeview channels! Ah well, I suppose my openmedia works as a freeview receiver as long as the dish faces the right way

Just a follow up, put the FTA firmware on, re-scanned, you can get itv2 on TV1 - 723 channel 259.

Doesn't open up anymore channels though, may have to try my areial instead of the cable.

waqasahmed · 14-12-09, 04:19 PM

So you dont get free channels such as E4 do you?

No mate, just the basic 1 to 5

They went in stages, 1st the premium, box office, sports and movies then a about 10 or so days later everything went.

Like I say, i'm fully subscribed now, i've had my monies worth a hundred times over ! Just thought I could use the boxes as multi room so to speak.
